What Is Routing. Explain With It'S Types
A Router works at the network layer in the OSI model and internet layer
in TCP/IP model
A router is a networking device that forwards the packet based on the
header and forwarding table.
Types of Routing:
Routing can be classified into three categories:
Static Routing
Default Routing
Dynamic Routing
Static Routing:
Static Routing is also known as Nonadaptive Routing.
It is a technique in which the administrator manually adds the routes in a
routing table.
Advantages Of Static Routing
Bandwidth: It has no bandwidth usage between the routers.
Security: It provides security as the system administrator is allowed only
to have control over the routing to a particular network.
Disadvantages of Static Routing:
For a large network, it becomes a very difficult task to add each route
manually to the routing table.
The system administrator should have a good knowledge of a topology
as he has to add each route manually.
Default Routing
Default Routing is a technique in which a router is configured to send all
the packets to the same hop device, and it doesn't matter whether it
belongs to a particular network or not.
Advantages:
Default Routing is used when networks deal with the single exit point.
It is also useful when the bulk of transmission networks have to transmit
the data to the same hop device.
Disadvantage:
When a specific route is mentioned in the routing table, the router will
choose the specific route rather than the default route.
Dynamic Routing
It is also known as Adaptive Routing.
It is a technique in which a router adds a new route in the routing table
for each packet in response to the changes in the condition or topology
of the network.
Advantages of Dynamic Routing:
It is easier to configure.
It is more effective in selecting the best route in response to the changes
in the condition or topology.
Disadvantages of Dynamic Routing:
It is more expensive in terms of CPU and bandwidth usage.
It is less secure as compared to default and static routing.
2. EXPLAIN TYPES OF ROUTING PROTOCOLS.
Types of Routing Protocols
The following protocols help data packets find their way across the
Internet:
IP:
The Internet Protocol (IP) specifies the origin and destination for
each data packet. Routers inspect each packet’s IP header to
identify where to send them.
OSPF:
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol is a link-state IGP tailor-
made for IP networks using the Shortest Path First (SPF) method.
RIP:
RIP is used in both LAN and WAN Networks. It also runs on the
application layer of the OSI model. The full form of RIP is the
Routing Information Protocol. Two versions of RIP are
1. RIPv1
2. RIPv2
EIGRP:
It is a hybrid routing protocol that provides routing protocols,
distance vector, and link-state routing protocols. It will route the
same protocols that IGRP routes using the same composite
metrics as IGRP, which helps the network select the best path
destination.
ISIS:
ISIS routing protocol is used on the Internet to send IP routing
information. It consists of a range of components, including end
systems, intermediate systems, areas, and domains.
BGP:
BGP is a routing protocol of the Internet, which is classified as a
DPVP (distance path vector protocol). The full form of BGP is the
Border Gateway Protocol.
3. WRITE ADVANTAGES OF IP ROUTING.
Advantages of IP Routing
The routing process ensures that appropriate packets are routed
from the source to the destination
Goals of routing include:
It offers stability
It provides a robust network
Offers dynamic routing update of the network paths
Information is safe while transmitting.
Routing protocols often include security features, such as
authentication and encryption, to protect the integrity and
confidentiality of transmitted data.
This helps in safeguarding sensitive information within the
network.
IP routing is protocol-independent, meaning it can support various
network layer protocols.
Routing protocols often support the establishment of multiple
paths between source and destination.
This helps in optimizing network resources and reducing latency.
4. DISCUSS THE RULES FOR ASSIGN HOST ID.
Rules for assigning Host ID:
The Host ID is used to determine the host within any network. The
Host ID is assigned based on the following rules:
The Host ID must be unique within any network.
The Host ID in which all the bits are set to 0 cannot be assigned as
it is used to represent the network ID of the IP address.
The Host ID in which all the bits are set to 1 cannot be assigned as
it is reserved for the multicast address.
